What is your favorite knee sleeves

[Gunsmith]

Looking to get a new set of knee sleeves to help with nagging knee aches when squatting
I’ve had the Mark Bell “Slingshot II” but wasn’t to impressed with them as the were very tight above and below the knee rather than around the knee cap

Anyone tried the Elite FTS knee sleeves??

I’m wanting something good and tight like a moderate knee wrap without having the wrap up before each set

I had always heard that having a tight wrap etc. would help aiding in heavier lifts. But was not always the best in regards to having long term healthy knees. As the patella can not move around as it was designed to and would lead to the back side wearing away sooner when using wraps.

I love my SBD sleeves but I don’t think they are particularly tight around the knee cap. You can definitely do a knee sleeve with a knee wrap as well if you want both sensations of support.

I will say in reference to the quoted poster that is exactly why I hate knee wraps. I never liked the feeling and when I was utilizing them I ended up with patella tendinitis and eventually a partial patella tear. IMO they do more harm then good I’d stick with sleeves unless you’re competing in a pl meet.

Rehband 7084's. I've had them for six years and they still look brand new with no signs of material or threading coming loose. I put them in the washing machine twice a week (cold water), they slide on and off without tearing your leg hair, and the neoprene material allows for a good fit even if you gain or lose weight.

Another vote for Rehband.

I'm wanting a pair too but having a hard time deciding. I'm having issues with size. I'm on the top end of large but don't want them too small or too loose for that matter.
